The estate and the wine |
|
|
Domaine Guy Bernard is a hidden gem. Situated on the beautiful slopes of Côte Rôtie and Condrieu, this small 6-hectare estate favors purity, fruit, and balance over any pursuit of ostentation. Skillfully vinified, the wines offer radiant depth, where finesse always prevails over power. |
|
|
| |
|
The 2022 Red Côte-Rôtie Les Méandres is a benchmark of the style. The pure nose, with aromas of violet, pepper, and smoked bacon, displays lovely minerality. The palate continues this theme of finesse and vibrancy, balancing concentration and ripe fruit, supported by structured aging that promises a decade or more of cellaring. Simply remarkable! Rated 95/100 by the Committee. |
